<div>Hello,</div><div><br></div><div>With referring these values we can clearly see the advantage of producing media locally.</div><div><br>For EMEA the values seems bit fair but with analyzing cost for one CD is around 0.626 EUR</div>
<div>and for DVD its 0.852 EUR.</div><div><br></div><div>Taxing made the count goes higher too.</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore with my market research I know that In south Asian countries the order can be obtained cheaper.</div>
<div>Therefore for Vietnam it would be cheaper and easy If you start producing media as it is needed. (per release usage)</div><div><br></div><div>in Asia one CD will cost around USD 0.30 ~ USD 0.40 with print on it and the cover.</div>
<div>The price get even low when the batch size raised to 3000 - 5000.</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore considering making them locally will be good for you Tuan.</div><div><br></div><div>Send me your quotation amount if you get any, like to match them and see how things going on AP too.</div>
